WESTERN KANSAS.
An Essay on Her Condition.

By g. s. Emig, of wa-Keeney, Thursday.
A happier lot of people never lived
than you can find in western Kansas
to-day. You will naturally ask, What
gives them such great joy? The answer
is simple: 1t has been raining gloriously
for the last AZ hours, not in dashing
showers, but kindly and gently has it
fallen on the earth and crept downward
to the roots of vegetation to nourish it
and send its blood bounding and dancing
upward. The grass is ]eaping out of the
ground. The trees are putting forth
green, beautiful foliage. All nature is
awakened and smiling.
We no longer see men with solemn,
elongated visages, but all are wearing the
happiest Sunday smile. No dust to
blind the eyes, but rich, black mud greets
us everywhere. No prophet is wise
enough to foretell the glorious results.
We will have potatoes and garden truck
to give away, and wheat and corn to feed
the hungry millions of the world. This
shall surely be the graz a-y where all
can replenish their larder.
We want honest, earnest, toiling
farmers to come and get farms, make
their homes on them, and pass the middle
and closing days of their lives in Gods
most healthful and painless part of the
world.
This is no fancy sketch, Matched to
delude and disappoint the unwary, but
the unvarnished truth. We say to all,
come and see and be convinced that this
is the best place on the continent for the
poor man.

LOST $1,000.
The Facts In Regard To the Capture OF
Packer.

Deputy Sheriff Malcomb Campbell, of
Douglas, is, notwithstanding the assertion
of an usually reliable chronicler to the con-
trary, the man who in conjunction with
his brother, affected the capture of the
notorious Packer, recognized near Fort
Fetterman by Jaun Cazuabon as the Col
orado cannibal. Packer is the eccentric
individual who, finding himself and seven
comrades dying of starvation in Middle
Park, Colo, took compassion on his dis
tressed mates and murdered them. Re-
morse and hunger o~vertaking him, he ate
portions of the bodies of the slain.
Packer, under the assumed name of
Schwartz, was prospecting around Fetter-
man. Cazuabon shared his bed at a
ranch one night and recognized him as
the tiend Tor whose worthless carcass
there was a reward of $4,000. He com
munlcated this information to Campbell,
who In turn transmitted the intelligence
to Laramie and Albany county officers.
The correspondence resulted in the arrest
of Packer by Campbell. The cannibal
was tried in Colorado, and sentenced to
suffer the extreme penalty. The Hon.
Thos. Patterson ably defended him, and
it was this shrewd lawyers acuteness
which saved the neck of the slaughterer
Tor whom cremation at the stake would
have been a mild punishment. The at
torney found flaw in the Colorado stat
utes which prevented the execution of his
client, secured a new trial for Packer
which terminated by the mau-eater re-
ceiving a sentence of forty years in. the
penitentiary. He is still alive.
Campbell placed his claim for the
$1,000 in the hands of Patterson, promis-
ing to divide the money with the attorney
in case he succeeding in collecting it. At
last accounts the eloquent Patterson was
still endeavoring to convince the Colorado
officials that the offer for reward had
never been Withdrawn Campbell still
says he lost $4,000 by the transaction.

AN EVENING WITH An ARTIST
Drawing In Black and White and Paint
ing In Oil CoIOrs.

II believe it is usual upon occasions of
this sort, said Caricaturist Mast in a ia
cetious tone as he stepped to the foot
lights and addressed a large audience In
the opera house last night, ito commence
by making some wise and philosophical
remark. l can thin of nothing more
striking or original to say han to assert
that man is a laughing animal. We BIZ
pods are the only laughing animals.
Perhaps | had better illustrate the re-
mark"
Stepping to the large easel in the CEN
ter OF the platform the master of carica-
ture hastily sketched the outline of a
fat, smiling and good natured man.
Alongside this suhiecth be placed a monkey,
the funny animal which provokes mirth,
but is not itself mirthful.
This effort was followed by representa-
tons of Uncle Jonathan and John Bull,
Ben Butler, Mast and the editor, the
evolution of Boss Tweed and Toodles.
The oil paintings, though hastily exc
cuted, were apparently almost perfect.
DeSoto discovering the Mississippi trans
formed to a magnificent view of Niagara
Falls was especially pleasing to the audi
ence.
Mast is not a great lecturer. He reads
from notes.
Some men find theit most fluent ex-
preston at the tip OF their tongues Mast
finds his at the tip of his brush. His
d~eftness is marvellous. From a series of
apparently irrelevan: blotches, a few
quick strokes evolves striking likenesses.
All classes of people keenly enjoy his per-
formances.

1t is on the Market.

The first large order for the already
famous Iron Mountain building stone has
been placed with the owners Of the quarry
and will be filed at once. 1t is for 300
tons OF the product, to be used in the
construction of the new buildings to be
erected at Fort Russell.
While on this subject The LEADER
wishes to state that if Denver, Omaha OIL
Chicago contractors wish 1000 900 or
more car loads of the best building stone
in the United States for use hex spring,
they can secure it in Laramie county.
The Iron Mountain stone has already
been acknowledged superior to the pro-
duct of the noted Colorado quarries, both
in quality and size of the blocks which
can be mined.

THE DOUGLAS K,LLING.
Version OF an Eye Witness to the
Tragedy.

Bill Barlow, of the Douglas Budget,
while chatting in this office last evening,
remarked that his townsmen were in no
way implicated or involved with the kill
ing, that they were compelled to import
material for the first homicide.
Malcomb Campbell, deputy sheriff of
Albany county, states that the testimony
of the only eye witness to the scene was
to the effect hat the deponent and Bow
man were conversing when King ap-
preached. The latter cursed deceased
and threatened to thrash him. Bowman,
though unarmed, made a motion as if to
draw a weapon. The killer warned him
not to repeat it, ordering Bowman to keep
his hand away from his hip pocket. Hot
words ensuing, Bowman again reached
for the imaginary revolver. King then
fired the fatal shot.
Until the particulars of the affair were
learned the excitement was intense, and
dark hints of melting out hasty punish
ment to the slayer were made, but the
violent spirit was soon subdued.
Than the citizens of Douglas none
regret the unfortunate affair more. Prior
to the tragic event it was a notable matter
in the history of the construction of the
Northwestern railway hat human blood
had been shed on every town site within
twenty-four hours after the establishment
of a saloon.
